At $1,395 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Apache Junction commands. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
That places it #10 of 11 neighborhoods in Apache Junction. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes.
